Morphodite

Morphodite is a slang version of the word hermaphrodite (an organism that has both male and female organs). It is a comic pronunciation and is often considered offensive. It was used for the first time in To Kill A Mockingbird and is now a better known word.

The following is a definition from dictionary.reference.com of hermaphrodite:An individual in which reproductive organs of both sexes are present.

InTo Kill A Mockingbird Miss Maudie describes Jem and Scout's snowman as a morphodite (hermaphrodite) because it resembles both a man (Mr Avery) and a woman (Miss Maudie). It is used again later in the book when Scout repeats the phrase she heard, and screams at Jem, "You damn morphodite, I'll kill you!".
